New is a bit too expensive. I got quoted like 71k out the door as the best price I could find which is a decent 12k more than my OTD price on this one. And that one didn't include the satin wheels or yellow calipers I was looking for.

I assumed CPO was better than regular used. It has the extended warranty for 6 years/100,000 miles and I believe they say it has to meet certain standards and anything that doesn't get replaced. Now I guess that depends on how much you trust Cadillac and their dealerships..... However I don't see why it would be worse than normal used...

Only reason i bring up new is I've heard of some people getting amazing deals on leftover 2012's, like around 60-62 grand. Even if the wheels are chrome and you want black, you can take care of that for under 400 bucks and paint the calipers at the same time. Something to think about. I just dunno if I trust the whole CPO deal and you gotta really wonder where the car has been and who has driven it.

60-62k otd and with recaros? Tax here will kill me nicely at 8.75%.... I would love to get a new one, but it's just too high a cost

Quick update, dealer didn't want to really give me any specific info on the rear tire tread measurement and probably didn't like me asking if it was up to "CPO Standards". Also didn't like me trying to find out where each of the fees were from as opposed to my calculations for the loan.

Always get a little fishy when the salesperson keeps on telling you how awesome a deal you're getting. I think every time they tell you that, it's a way of knowing they're ripping you off more . I'm going to sleep on this one and decide if I'm willing to just accept those as "hidden fees". Honestly they weren't very high anyway. The funny thing is, if the dealer was just honest and transparent about it I probably would have signed the contract tonight.

No kidding, I've been all over FL, GA, VA, there seem to be no deals at all. Best I can get is invoice less the rebates, which comes out just a shade over $65k plus ttl (MSRP of around $74k on most, some higher, some lower). FWIW, got a quote on a loaded '13 wagon of $67.5k which beats many of the quotes on the comparably equipped leftover '12's.
